Sara Massachi“JELF was an academic lifesaver for me!  JELF allowed me to continue my college career after a sudden death in my family nearly forced me to leave college and head back home.  With the help of JELF, I was able to stay in school and earn my BSN.  I currently work as an RN at Duke University Hospital and am back in school to earn my MSN in Nursing Administration.  Thanks for helping me succeed both academically and professionally, JELF!”
